How big is a 30 yard dumpster?
30 yard dumpster size measures around 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet tall, though exact 30 yard dumpster dimensions and 30 yard dumpster measurements vary by manufacturer. That footprint holds a large volume of mixed debris: framing lumber, drywall, old cabinetry, flooring. Compare that against the dumpster sizes and dimensions chart if you are weighing this against a 20 yard dumpster rental or stepping up to a 40 yard dumpster rental. Placement in Savannah needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck, plus overhead room clear of low branches or wires. Before you commit to a spot on the street, check dumpster permit requirements, since placement in the public right of way in Savannah needs confirming with the city. Homeowners doing a renovation often pair this size with home renovation porta potty service so the crew is not running back to the house. If you are unsure this is the right size, the 10 yard dumpster rental page walks through smaller jobs.
How much does a 30 yard dumpster rental cost in Savannah?
Pricing depends on rental length, weight, and what is going in the bin. Here is what a comparable roll-off runs across durations, based on measured data:
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Anyone comparing a 30 yard roll off dumpster against a 30 yard roll-off dumpster rental from another hauler will find the numbers land in a similar range. Weight matters more than most people expect. Dense material like shingles or concrete fills the weight limit long before the box looks full, so check dumpster weight limits before loading. A delivery fee applies separately in most cases; see roll-off dumpster rental for how that is structured. For a full construction cleanup, bundling with construction site services or a dedicated construction dumpster rental often makes more sense than renting piecemeal. If you just want the bottom line without the table, dumpster rental cost breaks it down further.
Can I put anything in a 30 yard dumpster?
No. Tires, batteries, paint, appliances with refrigerant, and hazardous chemicals are typically barred from roll-off dumpsters, and Savannah Porta Pros follows the same restrictions most haulers use. Check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading, because a banned item found at the landfill can mean a rejected load or extra fees. Housekeeping matters too: OSHA 1926.25 calls for clearing scrap and debris from active work areas, and OSHA 1926.252 covers how waste materials, including chutes, get disposed of on a job site. That is one more reason a properly sized dumpster sitting close to the work, rather than debris piling up, keeps a Savannah job site compliant and safer to walk across.
How long can I keep a 30 yard dumpster?
Most rentals run by the day, week, or month, and the table above shows how price scales with duration. A week-long rental costs more than a single day but far less per day than renting daily five times over. Talk to Savannah Porta Pros about swap-outs if the job runs long.
Do I need a permit for a 30 yard dumpster in Savannah?
It depends on where the dumpster sits. Placement on private property, like a driveway, usually needs no permit. Curbside or street placement in Savannah needs confirming with the city; see dumpster permit requirements for the process.
What is the difference between a 20 yard and 30 yard dumpster?
A 30 yard holds noticeably more volume, better for whole-home cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, or multi-room renovations. A 20 yard suits smaller projects like a single bathroom remodel. Compare both on 10 yard dumpster rental or 20 yard dumpster rental before booking.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking a few days ahead is usually enough, though tight timelines happen. Savannah Porta Pros also handles rush requests; for true last-minute sanitation needs on a job site, see emergency porta potty rental for how fast turnaround works.
Does the price include delivery?
Not always. Many quotes list delivery as a separate line item, and the fee can vary by distance and duration. Ask directly when requesting a quote, or start at request a quote to get exact numbers for your Savannah address.
